	QCA \| Coursework: A guide for parents
		Coursework is an excellent way for students to demonstrate the skills and knowledge they have gained throughout a course.
		Coursework must be a student's own original work, and they will have to sign a declaration saying that the work is their own.
		Coursework takes time and effort, and because it counts towards your childâs final grade it is important that they do as well as they can.

	Coursework - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coursework refers to work carried out by students while they are studying a course at university or school that contributes towards their overall grade, but which is assessed separately from their final exams.
		Coursework can, for example, take the form of experimental work, or problem sets in the sciences or dissertations, book reports or essays submitted for arts subjects.
		Students are required to produce coursework in order to broaden knowledge and enhance research skills, and to put theoretical knowledge learned from a course into practice.

	Coursework
		Coursework has to be done during a specified time - this means that you make the best use of your time and we are able to monitor your progress and make available the equipment, lab times, etc, that you'll need to do the work.
		Coursework is marked within four weeks of being submitted; if not, an estimate of when the marking will be completed is published on the appropriate Web page.
		The purpose of the oral is to ensure that you have given adequate attention to the coursework and that you have fully understood the material you have submitted.

	Telegraph \| Education \| Coursework is a licence to cheat
		Coursework is time-consuming and the bane of many a teacher's and pupil's lives but, "managed" well, it can lead to terrific results.
		First, the home: parents completing their children's coursework while they are away on a well-earned half-term holiday; private tutors writing the bulk of the coursework; and pupils buying essays or copying material off the internet and passing it off as their own.
		Home-based coursework simply cannot be policed, and if a pupil produces a piece of work and swears that it is his or her own, even if it looks suspiciously like someone else's, teachers are held hostage, forced to confront the issue or silently suffer.

	BBC NEWS \| Education \| The problem with exam coursework
		Critics of examined coursework say the system is open to abuse, but supporters argue it is a good motivator which also helps pupils who are not good at revision.
		Coursework was introduced with GCSEs in 1988, when it was possible to complete a whole exam subject with it.
		Coursework typically accounts for 30 - 40% of an exam, except for subjects such as design and technology where the proportion can be higher.

	Learning from GCSE coursework: fostering independent learning, critical thinking and creativity?
		A coursework element to the qualification, it was argued, would promote and give value to less tangible transferable skills such as critical thinking, creativity and independent learning.
		However, it was recognised that by structuring coursework for low(er) ability students they may be 'debarred' from attaining their potential but that this might not be possible within the confines of (the particular) coursework, and so the actual mark would be greater than that attained without structure.
		Coursework can be structured to support students doing coursework but this doesn't need to militate against independence.

	Coursework
		Coursework deadlines are set out in the Calendar section of your course folder; your module tutor will provide details of what is expected for individual assignments.
		Your coursework should, if possible, be typed or word-processed; if hand-written, please try to write as legibly as possible, so that your work is not disadvantaged by your tutor having to struggle with handwriting.
		Depending on how much of the coursework has been handed in on time by the group, your tutor will try to return your coursework no later than two weeks after it is due, so that you can use the comments on your work to good advantage.

	Learning from GCSE Coursework (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Over the past 12 years, the original arguments for coursework as a part of the examination system for 16 year olds in the UK appear to have diminished in value.
		Coursework was included in the GCSE as a result of recommendations from the Secondary Examinations Council (SEC), the body set up to monitor the GCSE syllabuses and assessment procedures, which had set out clear advantages for the approaches underpinning coursework.
		While coursework may have the potential to develop skills that are associated with lifelong learning, it is the case that pressures such as accountability and narrow forms of assessment exert an influence on the form and type of learning that takes place in schools.

		Coursework is different from homework, although to parents the activity may look much the same.
		The difference is simple - if it's coursework, the mark your child gets for it will count towards their final grade.
		For example, you might look through the scheme for each qualification with your child, noting when they will have to hand in coursework, when they will have to sit exams or tests, and how much each of these is worth.
